Jazz Brunch Cruise in New Orleans

Glide along the mystical Mississippi River while enjoying live jazz and a delectable Creole feast.

About Your Trip

Step into another era when steamboats ruled the Mississippi River for a relaxing jazz brunch cruise aboard the Natchez — 1 of only 2 steam-powered sternwheel ships gracing the river today. Enjoy a substantial Creole brunch while tapping your foot to live Dixieland jazz compliments of the amazing Steamboat Stompers. Feast upon mouthwatering New Orleans delicacies like Creole creamed spinach and Creole shrimp. Experience sumptuous desserts, such as hand-made beignets and white chocolate bread pudding. Sit back and allow the soft Southern breeze to relax you as you glide along the scenic Mississippi River – with friendly guided narration of the history of the area.

Spend quality leisure time in town wandering through some of the French Quarter’s most famous bars and restaurants to glean amusing and educational insights about the exotic culture of The Big Easy. Indulge in 1, or 2, world-famous Hurricane cocktails at Pat O’Brien’s. Make your way toward the delicious aroma of fresh cafe au lait, and the unforgettably warm, sweet taste of beignets at Cafe Du Monde. Do some spirited shopping along the way for voodoo-inspired masks, art and other exotic souvenirs found at highly eclectic bookstores, cafes and retail shops.

What we love:• New Orleans features some of the best food in the U.S. —from Cajun and Creole delights to pecan pralines and chicory-flavored coffee.• It is illegal to ride on a Mardi Gras float without wearing a mask.• It’s easy to get swept away in the captivating city of New Orleans, where jazz music was born and the mysteries of the supernatural fuse in the rhythmic heart of the French Quarter.
